Today we feature our climbing club member John. He is a sophomore here at Bloomsburg and loves to climb. His hardest boulder he sent was a v6 and the hardest sport climb he has done was a 5.11a at The Library called "Flamer". John has been climbing for about 2 years and loves climbers Jan Hojer and Alex Megos. His favorite climbing term is 'stout' and says that climbing can sometimes be one of the most frustrating things, but you gotta love it. John also says that he looks forward to training his protégé Matt Cotter in the future.

Her favorite climbing term is to "Polar Express It" or the "Crux". She loves climbing because it is a great way to push yourself, relieve stress and hang out with friends!

Happy !!! This weeks member is Laurel G. Laurel is really new to climbing and has been climbing for about a month. She hasn't really done any graded projects when it comes to bouldering or top roping. As she is still new, she is still searching for her favorite climber but loves the climbing term "Send it!!!"(Especially while she is climbing). Laurel started to climb because she wanted to challenge herself. She says it scares her but feels awesome every time she accomplishes a new route.

Come back next week for another !

When it comes to picking a favorite climber she says it is tough because she looks up to so many. She likes Steph Davis, Barbara Zangerl, Pamela Shanti Pack and Emily Harrington. Her favorite climbing term is chossy! Lastly, she aspires to be an alpinist, big wall climber, and wants to travel the world to climb mountains, rocks and ice.
